endations to the Union and the States on the model Goods and Services Tax Laws, principles of levy, apportionment of Goods and Services Tax… Consistent with this requirement a number of provisions of the CGST Act including Section 9 (1), 9 (2), 9 (3) and 9 (5) envisage notifications being issued by the central government on the recommendations of the Council. The categorical averment is that the impugned notifications are in violation of this mandatory statutory requirement inasmuch as the GST Council had recommended that legal services as a whole would be amenable to GST only on reverse charge basis. To make good this assertion, Mr. Mittal draws the attention of the Court to the document titled SERVICES UNDER REVERSE CHARGE AS APPROVED BY GST COUNCIL . Row 3 of this chart reads as under:- SERVICES UNDER REVERSE CHARGE AS APPROVED BY GST COUNCIL The fitment of rates of services were discussed on 19 May 2017 during the 14th GST Council meeting held at Srinagar, Jammu & Kashmi

, 2017 in relation to the above entry reads as under: GSR…… (E).- In exercise of' the powers conferred by sub-section (3) of section 9 of the Central Goods and Services Tax Act 2017 ( 12 of 20 17), the Central Government on the recommendations of the Council hereby notifies that on categories of supply of services mentioned in column (2) or the Table below supplied by a person as specified in column (3) of the said Table, the whole of central tax leviable under section 9 of the said Central Goods and Services Tax Act, shall be paid on reverse charge basis by the recipient of the such services as specified in column (4) of the said Table:- S.

of legal services was notified as being taxable under reverse charge basis. However, there was no provision in the FA to allow for de-registration. Thus Mr Mittal s FA registration continues. Mr. Mittal draws attention to Section 22(2) of the CGST Act, which reads as under:- 22 (2) Every person who, on the day immediately preceding the appointment day, is registered or holds a licence under an existing law, shall be liable to be registered under this Act with effect from the appointed day. 10. He submits that the mere clarification that all legal services are amenable to GST on reverse charge basis may not solve his problem. A legal practitioner like himself who is already registered under the FA would have to be exempted from registration under the GST laws under Section 23 (2) read with Section 22 (2) of the CGST and the corresponding provisions of the IGST Act and DGST Act. 11.
